+/* Recognizing signal handler frames. */
+
+/* Linux has two flavors of signals. Normal signal handlers, and
+ "realtime" (RT) signals. The RT signals can provide additional
+ information to the signal handler if the SA_SIGINFO flag is set
+ when establishing a signal handler using `sigaction'. It is not
+ unlikely that future versions of Linux will support SA_SIGINFO for
+ normal signals too. */
+
+/* When the i386 Linux kernel calls a signal handler and the
+ SA_RESTORER flag isn't set, the return address points to a bit of
+ code on the stack. This function returns whether the PC appears to
+ be within this bit of code.
+
+ The instruction sequence for normal signals is
+ pop %eax
+ mov $0x77,%eax
+ int $0x80
+ or 0x58 0xb8 0x77 0x00 0x00 0x00 0xcd 0x80.
+
+ Checking for the code sequence should be somewhat reliable, because
+ the effect is to call the system call sigreturn. This is unlikely
+ to occur anywhere other than a signal trampoline.
+
+ It kind of sucks that we have to read memory from the process in
+ order to identify a signal trampoline, but there doesn't seem to be
+ any other way. The IN_SIGTRAMP macro in tm-linux.h arranges to
+ only call us if no function name could be identified, which should
+ be the case since the code is on the stack.
+
+ Detection of signal trampolines for handlers that set the
+ SA_RESTORER flag is in general not possible. Unfortunately this is
+ what the GNU C Library has been doing for quite some time now.
+ However, as of version 2.1.2, the GNU C Library uses signal
+ trampolines (named __restore and __restore_rt) that are identical
+ to the ones used by the kernel. Therefore, these trampolines are
+ supported too. */
